The excitement has been building around here. These three all get to attend new schools this year. Cole is off to junior high and the girls to our neighborhood school. Summer and Meg get to bike instead of bus now. They were giddy with delight. They got to meet up with some of their neighborhood friends to descend down "cherry hill" on the way to school.
Cole gets to leave 90 minutes later for school now that he doesn't catch the bus to Franklin. He loved me taking a picture in front of the carpool. 
And then there is Ike, sad to be left behind. He has one more year of preschool with an awesome teacher and then he'll be with the big kids. Thanks Mom for coming and taking him out for a little outing. He's been playing with his new Star Wars figurines all morning.
I can hardly wait to hear all the details about their first day experiences.
